Hm. Is it just me, or does Laz seem to be missing the fact that he’s not yelling in pain from a wolf’s jaws clamped around his arm? And the way his eyes are starting to narrow. Next strip should be, interesting.

Laz is REALLY not in a good position to use claws on anything. One arm is in the wolf’s jaws. The other is currently the only leverage that’s keeping the wolf from pinning him to the ground (where death is certain). A more effective strategy would be to kick the wolf someplace sensitive, since the legs are currently free.

Mmmm, that’s a possibility. If Laz is supporting himself with his left arm, he would certainly end up on his back, where they want him. B ut it kinda looks to me in the last panel that his foot can’t reach a sensitive part, or has enough leverage to deliver a hard enough kick. If he goes for between wolf’s back legs, he slides dowm all the way on his back and will get pinned down. If he pulls his legs up toward wolf’s throat, there might not be enough leverage to kick hard and fast enough there either. His last option may be to bite the wolf’s nose, which Laz can reach. We’ll see how it goes down. (Good observation on your part, by the way)

ooooo. this is going to be interesting i see a few things that could happen.
1. saved by a third party
2. claws the S___ out of them
3. learns some new devil ability
4. dies (highly unlikely due to him being the lead in the comic)

that’s because it’s one of their secret ninja tactics that noone can know. the only reason we see it here and now is because the writer is an even sneaker ninja and saw the wolves practicing.
(yes i know ure a ninja writer. no i’m not going to use it to summon up an army of pirate fans to destroy u. i personally think that pirates and ninjas should team up to fight the real threat… cyborgs.)
-yes this is coming from a messed up mind, but no i am not on any sort of drug appointed by my docter or otherwise.

I believe I won that bet (see pg 117, first panel). But, still, I’m happy to share my catch of the nite with ya. I enjoy good quisine also. Mouse du jour or chipped mouse in cream sauce over toast (squeak on a shingle, a military favorite).

But yeah, I’m impressed that Laz is able to think clearly enough to shield his throat from the wolf’s bite, even more so that he has the nerve to sacrifice/risk the loss of an arm to protect his vital point.
